Rules 1-9 are all wonderful additions. I must ask though, can it be made mandatory for new and incoming members to read the rules; a requirement for initiation if you will? I understand that the rules are stickied to the foremost of the selected Forum (General/ Technical Discussion), but I get the feeling that section is often ignored especially by fresh sign-ups. I impose this just a friendly suggestion.

He has a point. It took me a few days to get around to reading that cuz I was too busy digging through the depths of this forum.

Anyway, great to see that the rules got a facelift. I do find rule 3 to be a bit of an oxymoron, though, mainly because it feels like a few of these rules have an annoyed/frustrated tone to them. But, then again, that's just my opinion. Feel free to bash it with a sledgehammer.

Also going to side with Lucid and Sheep on this one. These rules should work great, as long as they're indifferent to the user's affiliations, whether or not they have a high REP rating, a good standing in the community, etc.

Indeed. So long as no single member receives special treatment, these new regulations should improve the quality of the forum etiquette and content. This is why individuals who do not consider personal affiliations, in their judgment, are ideal Moderators. They must not allow "friendship" to influence whether or not a member has committed an infraction, regardless of severity. Otherwise this system would be considered corrupt , a description no man should have to encounter especially on an internet forum.

Then Hammer the report button wherever you see the rules violated, regardless of who they are in relation to you. Reporting is effortless, and enables the mods to check stuff out. If you're not using it often and without mercy, then you may have little grounds to complain about the state of the forums.

On the topic of Nazis, have a chainsaw

Now back to being serious.
Noting what Darktan said about there being some room for interpretation on the rules thing (for the colors/sizes example)...meh, I guess a general "keep it reasonable" approach is what we expect out of people, right? Use your own judgment when you need to, but err on the side of caution.

Can we add to #8 something like "that's what your sig is for?" Just so that newer members don't get confused.
